Geocache Description:


This is BB's 6th cache.

I hid this cache while on a bushwalk with my class during school camp. Cache is a small 200 ml plastic clip top type container. BYO writing instrument. Satellite lock is certainly not an issue up here...

Located in the Southern Grampians, this feature is 827 mts high and affords magnificent views of Maccamob's 'Caviar' and other surrounding peaks and countryside. Brusque was named by Major Mitchell as he wandered around Victoria's back blocks many moons ago.

To reach this cache, you will need to follow the walking track that starts from the nearby tourist road carpark. The walk is just over 6 kms return and covers some 450 mts elevation. During spring you'll see many native species of flora and fauna. You may also see some of the local reptiles as well, especially if the weather is warm enough.

Be careful when heading up towards the summit as it is quite exposed in parts and can be extremely windy. It is also bitingly cold during winter so check the weather carefully and be prepared!

Original cache contents include a cockroach, carabiner keyring, Mc Crappy toy owl, CFS keyring, scout chernobyl badge and some mixed salad seeds. The rewards of this cache are definitely in the views.

Please be sure to replace the cache as you find it to keep it out of sight of muggles.
